Thundar

"Thundar" is the nickname of the mascot for North Dakota State University's Bison athletic program. The name is derived from an additional nickname that the teams use, the "Thundering Herd". Thundar is a caricature of a bison. He is known for his exaggerated features, including a large head and tail.

He is part of the 2008 Capital One Mascot team. Entering the competition, he was seeded at #1, but was defeated by Cy from Iowa State University in the final round.
